Charleston Under Arms
— observations of conditions and attitudes by a Yankee visitor during
late January and early February, 1861.

Why I Wrote It — a
teenager sent away to the North to school and—while she's gone—war
breaks out; her experiences in the North, going back to the South and
leaving while the war rages.

Wilmington, N.C., During the Blockade - "the only port of the
Confederacy into which every “dark of the moon” there ran a half dozen
or so swift blockade—runners, freighted with cannon, muskets, and every
munition of war— medicines, cloth, shoes, bacon, etc."

Abraham Lincoln's
Patent - While an 1849 patent by a relatively obscure politician and
lawyer is not related directly to the war, it is an interesting example
of the future president's intellect.
